Incredible Indian Cuisine

About the kitchen

Cuisine Type: South Indian & Indian fusion. I usually cook Indian food but also love preparing Chinese, Malay and Western dishes. My meals are complete with soup, main dishes and ends with a dessert. If you come earlier, you can observe my cooking and learn. I will be happy to share the recipes. I am glad to say there is no MSG in my cooking; I try not to use any artificial colouring too and use products from local market. My food is healthy, clean, hygienic, with a cosy atmosphere. Dinner will last up to 2 hours.

Media stories

Thanks to some enterprising minds, dozens of home kitchens and dining tables in Southeast Asia have opened up to travelers wanting a taste of the local cuisines. They're available for booking online, complete with reviews, photos and payment options.

So a week ago we were looking for a place to celebrate Dom's belated birthday. Bored with all the usual restaurant haunts, but without any other ideas, we were nearly confined to another year of simple dinner and drinks. Thankfully, we had an invitation from PlateCulture, so we took the opportunity to kill 2 birds with 1 stone - review a PlateCulture dinner, while dragging 2 friends in tow to celebrate a birthday! =D

Bio

I always loved cooking since school days. I use to go for competition since I was doing domestic science. Represented school and won a trophy too. I am a person who likes to try out dishes that I have eaten outside until I get it right. I am adventurous and love travelling. Three pillars of my everyday life are praying, family and food.

Kala's meal was quite honestly one of the best tastiest Indian meals I've EVER eaten. After a mix up with the booking, Kala went out of her way to provide us with an enjoyable evening. If we're ever again in Malaysia, we'll go back for sure and would highly recommend this experience to others. Thanks Kala!

My friend and I shared wonderful light moments with Kala and her husband, in talking and dining. Kala is a great host, and although we just stepped out the plane in Malaysia for less than 2 hours, we felt home immediately and we where overwhelmed by the great hospitality of Kala and her husband. Kala´s food is an art and gift at the same time. The food is great and healthy - what we loved and highly appreciated. Kala is - amoung other skills - gifted to make "healthy food in a delicious way" and "delicious in a food healthy way".

Thank you so much Kala!

While the food was really authentic and excellent, I think the other half of the experience is really the great time we had chatting with Kala & Guna, learning more about their lives and culture over the dining table, and also getting some food recommendations from Guna! They have a lovely house which they welcomed us in with open arms. (I think Wendy also managed to pick up some tips on Indian cooking from Kala, heh)

It is truly hard to find appropriate words to describe the magnificence of the Indian lunch we had. I felt completely overwhelmed with the attention and care of the hosts. I would definitely say PlateCulture is about experiencing the local cuisine, not just tasting it. Absolutely impressive and worth trying it.
